With MSN Spaces, you can easily create and manage your blog from your computer or your mobile phone. It's a great way to share information and photos with your friends and family. And best of all, it's free!

I made a DKOS comment about forms of capitalism which took a swipe at that oxymoron "Microsoft innovation".

LOL, you can't write this stuff. Turns out Microsoft has a profanity filter on their blogs. This person, whose native language I do not share, tried to have the tag line "A Corporate Whore" but the system wouldn't let that go through. Check the screencap.

But it gets better. Take a peak at the terms of service, linked from the bottom of every page on MSN Spaces:

For materials you post or otherwise provide to Microsoft related to the MSN Web Sites (a "Submission"), you grant Microsoft permission to (1) use, copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, modify, translate and reformat your Submission, each in connection with the MSN Web Sites, and (2) sublicense these rights, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Microsoft will not pay you for your Submission.

Well, MS should be experts at corporate whoredom.
